  <h1 class="Head">Perspective Bar</h1>
  <p class="Intro">The perspective bar allows quick access to perspectives that are currently open, as well as
  providing an easy way to open a new perspective. The perspective bar may be docked in three different positions. It
  may be docked in the upper right corner (the default position), the upper left corner (under the main toolbar) and to
  the far left.</p>
  <p class="Para">Here is an example of what the perspective bar looks like:</p>
  <p class="Para"><img src="../images/Image211_perspective.png" alt="Perspective Bar" border="0"></p>
  <div class="Topic">
    <h3>Open Perspective</h3>
    <p class="Para">This command opens a new perspective that is selected from a drop-down menu. All of the
    perspectives that are open within a single Workbench window are shown on the shortcut bar.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="Topic">
    <h3>Perspective Buttons</h3>
    <p class="Para">These buttons provide a quick way to switch to one of the open perspectives in the current
    Workbench window.</p>
    <p class="Para"></p>
    <h3>Available Perspectives</h3>
    <p>There are several available perspectives, while one is set as a default, others can be manually added to the
    perspective bar. To add new perspectives to your workspace, click <strong>Open Perspective</strong> <img src=

    the following <a class="command-link" href=
